繼續(xù)材料科學(xué)報(bào)告專題邀請(qǐng)材料科學(xué)和工程的評(píng)論，每一個(gè)包括:?迄今完成的工作調(diào)查?研究和應(yīng)用的當(dāng)前趨勢(shì)?未來(lái)展望材料科學(xué)與工程研究:報(bào)告發(fā)表邀請(qǐng)?jiān)u審論文，涵蓋材料科學(xué)與工程的所有領(lǐng)域。這些綜述，無(wú)論是實(shí)驗(yàn)的還是理論的，都提供了一般的背景信息，以及對(duì)處于變化狀態(tài)的主題的批判性評(píng)估。《材料科學(xué)與工程R:報(bào)告》的編輯方針是以兩種方式服務(wù)讀者。首先，它提供了對(duì)材料科學(xué)家直接感興趣的明確定義的領(lǐng)域中當(dāng)前問題的批判性概述。其次，每一篇綜述都包含一個(gè)廣泛的參考文獻(xiàn)列表，從而為有關(guān)該主題的主要研究文獻(xiàn)提供了一個(gè)寶貴的指針。這一政策由編輯委員會(huì)執(zhí)行，該委員會(huì)由各自學(xué)科的杰出科學(xué)家組成。委員會(huì)確定感興趣的題目，然后邀請(qǐng)合格的作者。為了確保迅速出版，每一篇評(píng)論都單獨(dú)出版。

Continuation of Materials Science ReportsTopical invited reviews in materials science and engineering, each including: ? surveys of work accomplished to date ? current trends in research and applications ? future prospectsMaterials Science & Engineering R: Reports publishes invited review papers covering the full spectrum of materials science and engineering. The reviews, both experimental and theoretical, provide general background information as well as a critical assessment on topics in a state of flux. The editorial policy of Materials Science & Engineering R: Reports is to serve its readership in two ways. Firstly, it provides a critical overview of the current issues in a well-defined area of immediate interest to materials scientists. Secondly, each review contains an extensive list of references thus providing an invaluable pointer to the primary research literature available on the topic. This policy is implemented by the Editorial Board which consists of outstanding scientists in their respective disciplines. The Board identifies the topics of interest and subsequently invites qualified authors. In order to ensure speedy publication, each review is published separately.
